Chitosan Market Key Players, Industry Overview,
Supply and Consumption Demand Analysis to
2022
“Chitosan is a natural polycationic linear polysaccharide made
from partial deacetylation of chitin. Chitin is a large, structural
polysaccharide derived from the chains of refined glucose. Both
chitosan and chitin possess outstanding properties like bio-
compatibility, non-toxicity, biodegradability, hydration,
moisturization, and absorption.”
Global Chitosan Market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 15% in the forecast period due to the rising application of
chitosan in water treatment, medical and cosmetic industry. Chitosan is a natural polycationic linear polysaccharide
made from partial deacetylation of chitin. Chitin is a large, structural polysaccharide derived from the chains of refined
glucose. Both chitosan and chitin possess outstanding properties like bio-compatibility, non-toxicity, biodegradability,
hydration, moisturization, and absorption. It is today extensively researched as a potential drug carrier because of its
biocompatibility property. Chitosan is also suggested to cover nanoparticles made from other materials to reduce their
effect on body and increase bioavailability.
